Tuck it under or against the knot (that not looks more like a bun) and secure it with a hair pin.
Do the same thing with the other end, only wrap it around the left side of the knot/bun.
If you have particularly long hair, you should try to secure the ends of your hair under the knot. , A medium-hold hairspray should do the trick, but if you have very long or thick hair, you may consider using extra-strength hairspray.
